La loba de al-Andalus es el relato de un hito épico en el que se decidió el destino de lo que después se llamaría España. Mediados del siglo XII. La última gran taifa de al-Ándalus se halla en su momento de mayor prosperidad: ciudades felices y lujosas se extienden desde la desembocadura del Ebro hasta las costas de Almería, gozando de la paz y la amistad de los reinos cristianos; los trovadores recorren sus caminos, se componen los cantares de gesta y la poesía andalusí ameniza banquetes y orgías. Al frente de ese reino están un hombre y una mujer: el rey Lobo, un musulmán descendiente de cristianos y llegado al trono por méritos propios, curtido en las guerras de frontera y fiel cumplidor de sus pactos con los cristianos, y su favorita Zobeyda, mujer de legendaria belleza e inteligente sibilina, que persigue el cumplimiento de una extraña profecía. Pero al otro lado del Estrecho afilan sus armas los ejércitos almohades, la poderosa máquina militar regida por el fanatismo que ha abandonado sus montañas africanas para aniquilar a los adoradores de la cruz. Mientras tanto, los cristianos de la península ibérica están más preocupados por sus rivalidades que por unirse para defender tierras. Así, solo el rey Lobo y Zobeyda se interponen entre las hordas invasoras y los incautos reyes del norte. Una lucha de poder narrada con lenguaje directo, sencillo y evocador, que alterna la acción con el romanticismo y la intriga en una época de héroes, trovas, grandes batallas, fidelidad y traición, muertes trágicas y pasiones desbocadas.

Año 1174. El Imperio almohade, fortalecido tras someter todo al-Ándalus, se dispone a lanzar sus inmensos ejércitos sobre los divididos reinos cristianos. Sus pobladores serán obligados a convertirse al islam so pena de pasarlos a cuchillo o hacerlos esclavos, pero, frente al fanatismo africano, el rey Alfonso de Castilla trata de lograr un equilibrio que supere las rivalidades entre cristianos y lleve a la unión contra el enemigo común. En El ejército de Dios, las tramas de pasión, intriga, guerra y ambición se entrecruzan de manera magistral. La constante rivalidad entre los reyes de León y Castilla, auxiliados respectivamente por las poderosas familias de los Castro y los Lara, se verá tamizada por la intervención de una hermosa y astuta noble, Urraca López de Haro, y por las maniobras en la sombra de la reina Leonor Plantagenet. En la frontera con el islam, el cristiano Ordoño de Aza se verá atrapado entre la amistad con un andalusí, Ibn Sanadid, y la fascinación que despierta en él Safiyya, hija del rey Lobo y esposa del príncipe almohade Yaqub. Reinos de lucha, intriga, acción, sexo, giros inesperados y personajes carismáticos e inolvidables hacen de la Trilogía Almohade de Sebastián Roa (La loba de al-Ándalus, El ejército de Dios y Las cadenas del destino) una formidable representación de una época decisiva en la historia de España. «Sebastián Roa se ha consolidado como uno de los grandes escritores de novela histórica de nuestro país». La Vanguardia La crítica ha dicho sobre la Trilogía Almohade (La loba de al-Ándalus, El ejército de Dios y Las cadenas del destino): «Un auténtico viaje a la Edad Media.

In the spring of 1944, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry left his wife, Consuelo, to return to the war in Europe. Soon after, he disappeared while flying a reconnaissance mission over occupied France. Neither his plane nor his body was ever found. The Tale of the Rose is Consuelo’s account of their extraordinary marriage. It is a love story about a pilot and his wife, a man who yearned for the stars and the spirited woman who gave him the strength to fulfill his dreams. Consuelo Suncin Sandoval de Gómez and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry met in Buenos Aires in 1930—she a seductive young widow, he a brave pioneer of early aviation, decorated for his acts of heroism in the deserts of North Africa. He was large in his passions, a fierce loner with a childlike appetite for danger. She was frail and voluble, exotic and capricious. Within hours of their first encounter, he knew he would have her as his wife. Their love affair and marriage would take them from Buenos Aires to Paris to Casablanca to New York. It would take them through periods of betrayal and infidelity, pain and intense passion, devastating abandonment and tender, poetic love. Several times in the course of their marriage they would go their separate ways, but always they would return. The Tale of the Rose is the story of a man of extravagant dreams, and of the woman who was his muse, the inspiration for the Little Prince’s beloved rose—unique in all the world—whom he could not live with and could not live without. Written on Long Island in a quiet spell of reconciliation, The Little Prince was Antoine’s greatest gift to the woman he never stopped loving, the only child to emerge from their union. The Tale of the Rose is Consuelo’s reply—the love letter she never could write to her husband—a fable of its own, just as magical, poetic, and tragic as The Little Prince. Praise for The Tale of the Rose “We find in these pages all the tenderness and patience, but also the tenacity, of a woman who loves. Consuelo does not seek to explain or even to understand her husband, she accepts him and leads him to what he must be. . . . Written with a strong and authentic voice, The Tale of the Rose is a book to read for its strength of character, and for the adventure that it offers.”—Elle

In 48 B.C., having survived a disastrous campaign in Pythia as part of the Forgotten Legion and spent years fighting their way back to Rome, Romulus and Tarquinius have finally made it as far as Alexandria. On arrival, though, they find themselves in the midst of the Roman Civil War, are press-ganged into Caesar's thinning legions and greatly outnumbered and fighting for their lives against the Egyptian army. Meanwhile in Rome, Romulus' twin sister Fabiola, having caught only a glimpse of her long-missing twin before being forced to flee Egypt for Rome, lives in fear for her life, loved by Brutus, but wooed by Marcus Antonius, his deadly enemy. From the battlefields of Asia Minor and North Africa, to the lawless streets of Rome and the gladiator arena, they all face death and danger daily, until 44 B.C. when their individual roads all lead them to Rome where the future of the republic lies unexpectedly in their hands.

Thrilling conclusion to an award-winning series. Global Ebooks Award for Best Historical Fiction. FINALIST in The Wishing Shelf and the Chaucer Awards. The Historical Novel Society Editor's Choice. Dragonetz and Estela: the troubadours. They thought they knew each other but they didn't even know themselves. Dragonetz has failed Eleanor of Aquitaine once. Now that she plans to be Queen of England he could make amends. Although prepared to risk his own life on an impossible quest, a knight should protect his lady, or so say the troubadour songs. His lady, however, plays to a different tune and she wants partnership, not protection. Estela and Dragonetz fight their enemies, both on the battlefield and in the courts of Christendom, from the sophistication of Zaragossa to the wilds of Wales. Can they win through to song hereafter, together? Or have they broken one rule too many? Mystery, intrigue, romance and adventure fill the pages of this magnificent conclusion to an epic series sure to delight fans of KenFollett, Elizabeth Chadwick, Bernard Cornwell and Kristin Hannah. Jean Gill captures the soul of the age and the characters who lived in it. ' Evocative and thoroughly riveting. A vividly-written, historical saga.'

Set in the late Roman Republic, in the first century B.C.E., The Forgotten Legion is a tale of the greatest empire of the ancient world from the perspective of those on the lowest rungs of its society. Romulus and Fabiola are twins, born into slavery to a enslaved mother who is much beloved by them, and much abused by their owner. At 13 years old, they and their mother are sold: Romulus to gladiator school, Fabiola into prostitution, where she will catch the eye of one of the most powerful men in Rome, and their mother into obscurity and death in the salt mines. Tarquinius is an Etruscan, a warrior and soothsayer, born enemy of Rome and trained by the last haruspex in the forgotten arts of divination. A runaway slave, then an AWOL Legionaire, he has a long foretold destiny that will take him to the very ends of the known world. Brennus is a Gaul from the Allobreges tribe. In the battle against the Roman army, his entire family, perhaps his entire tribe, is slaughtered, and only he survives to be sold as a slave to be trained as a gladiator. He rises to become one of the most famous and feared gladiators of his day - and mentor to the boy slave, Romulus, who dreams night and day of escape and of revenge. The lives of these four characters are bound and interwoven in a marvellous story which begins in a Rome riven by corruption, violence and political enmities, but ends far away, where Romulus, Brennus and Tarquinius find themselves fighting against the Parthians and overwhelming odds - survivors of one of the most legendary battles in Roman military history and destined to become part of one of the most compelling, enduring legends: The Forgotten Legion.
